Join local design professionals and scientists from ETSU in a day-long workshop focused on Hurricane Helene and other recent natural disasters impacting northeast Tennessee and our surrounding region. We’ll review factors of risk and discuss climate trends that have and will impact the health, welfare and safety of our local communities. Maps and data will be shared for 5 local counties (Washington, Cocke, Unicoi, Carter, and Johnson) that were severely affected by Hurricane Helene and are participating in a coordinated long-term recovery effort. This event is a unique opportunity for citizens, professionals, local government, and county Long-Term Recovery Group members to come together, share information, and engage in unified planning towards regional resilience in northeast Tennessee.
